Congregations and individuals all around the Saint Paul Area Synod have experienced lives changed, both individually and as a community of faith, because of Tanzanian partnerships. We have experienced the deep grace and hospitality of our Iringa hosts. Most of us have seen chapels constructed, motorbikes purchased, and students graduating from secondary schools through the support of BKB. We have been involved in water projects, medical support, microfinance and a number of other development projects.
How do we know that we’re doing the right things, working in helpful ways? How do we become good companions on this journey?
In the process of becoming companions, our congregations and parishes enter into a covenant relationship that acknowledges that relationships require work, support, commitment and renewal. That covenant closes with words to guide us:
In all of this, we seek to walk together – shoulder to shoulder – as brothers and sisters in Christ, lovingly created in the image of God, and led by God’s Holy Spirit.
To God alone be the glory!
Asante,
Kirsten Levorson
Director of Bega Kwa Bega
